* WomenAreWiser: Compared to Deep Canyon's scheming and Wide Gulley's machismo, Adalberta stands out as the most compassionate, reasonable, and responsible member of the guild. It's telling that she's beloved by all of her guild members, who fear that Wide Gulley will try to unseat her and wish she'd kick him out to protect herself. Even so, she knows that it's only natural for her workers to get competitive and try to rise through the ranks like she did.

* {{Forgiveness}}: Her kind and compassionate nature allows her to forgive years of mistreatment from Deep Canyon out of her past respect for him. [[spoiler:She goes so far as to send you out to collect darksteel ore in order to save Canyon's job once his misdeeds are brought to the higher ups.]]

* PointyHairedBoss: He doesn't seem to care much for the other miners so long as they make him a profit. In one quest, he sends the Warrior of Light to obtain 10 onzes of high-grade cinnabar even though they're only a novice at this point. Later on, Adalberta reports that several miners were nearly killed after Deep Canyon sent them out on more jobs than they were ready for. All of this is a carefully calculated scheme to make Adalberta look as incompetent as possible to strengthen his son's chances of unseating her as an act of revenge. [[spoiler:But once this is revealed to the company, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome it's his job that's on the chopping block]] until you and Adalberta intervene on his behalf.]]

[[folder:T'laqua Tia]]

* CallingYourNausea: The Warrior is initially skeptical of the severity of T'laqua's aether sickness problem. The professor begrudgingly heads to the aetheryte plaza to demonstrate, calling it right before he empties his lunch all over the plaza.

* FictionalDisability: T'laqua suffers from aether sickness, meaning that any attempt to use aether-based technology that requires one to attune to it will result in intense nausea and vomiting. He lampshades how ironic and inconvenient it is for an aetherologist to have aether sickness, enlisting the Warrior to help him because he can't possibly finish his thesis in time otherwise. [[spoiler:He eventually realizes that he's been using his ailment as an excuse to avoid pushing himself, insisting that he accompany the Warrior on their excursion to Thavnair despite the immense nausea and vertigo he suffers in the process. His research into treating aetheric sickness in wildlife caused by Zodiark's destruction is also adapted into a medicine to mitigate the effects of aether sickness, allowing him to obtain his own specimens.]]
* MrExposition: T'laqua's aetherological research is focused on the aether currents that run across the planet. He explains how the spectral currents that Fishers encounter on ocean fishing trips work, as well as the potential boons for the fishing industry should it be possible to predict where these spectral currents are likely to occur.

* SignificantWardrobeShift: [[spoiler:At the end of his questline, T'laqua Tia dons the same blue Alexandrian robes as his mentor Nele, showing that T'laqua has been promoted to a fully tenured professor of aetherology.]]
* WellDoneSonGuy: Downplayed. T'laqua attributes his success to the tutelage of his mentor, Professor Nele. But Nele's high hopes for T'laqua are what get the associate professor's stomach in knots and drive him to try and prove that Nele's faith in him is warranted.

* BoobsOfSteel: She's the guildmaster of one of the most physically taxing professions, with the bust to show for it.

* PeekABangs: One of his eyes is always hidden behind his bangs.

* AmbiguousDisorder: She’s a bit strange, and occasionally lapses into fits of ecstatic laughter for no apparent reason. She’s also less interested in doing her job than in the samiel, to the point that the Warrior of Darkness has to stop her from running off to Amh Araeng to chase rumours that the creature was seen there.
